The IPOB said the order was obtained from, "biased APC lackey, the Federal High Court Chief Justice Kafarati in Abuja".
A statement signed by the group media and publicity secretary Emma Powerful on Thursday, September 21, said the court order is obnoxious and has placed the country's judicial reputation on the line.
Powerful said is clear that the judge who signed the order - Judge Abdul Kafarati - has only shown he is more concerned about the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by President Muhammadu Buhari than he is with dispensing justice without fear or favour.
Inquiring the evidence on which the court signed such order said: "The world can now clearly see there is something fundamentally wrong with the Nigerian psyche and it's propensity to reward evil and punish good. Nigeria will go down in history as the only country on earth to proscribe a peaceful organisation whilst blood thirsty violent marauders are given financial inducements to stop killing their innocent victims."
Powerful also noted that Justice Kafarati's order came after another judge of the Federal High Court, Binta Nyako ruled that IPOB is not an illegal organisation.
Powerful said: "It's also very appalling and an affront to common sense that the judiciary in Nigeria always allow itself to be manipulated and messed about by whichever government is in power but more so in this dictatorial APC regime as demonstrated through this injudicious order granted by Justice Kafarati proscribing IPOB."
It has inadvertently made itself a laughing stock in the judicial world. No wonder more civilized parts of humanity sometimes see we Africans as being incapable of mental development beyond self preserving primitive alliances.
Legal practitioners all over the world would be wondering what caliber of people make it to the bench in Nigeria if a judge can order the banning of an association that has no history of violence whatsoever.
Any judge or court of law worth its salt would have in the very least, demanded for proof of evidence of terrorists acts by IPOB, before doing the bidding of the government. In this case, as with most cases against IPOB, the only evidence provided by the very lying Lai Mohammed and the Attorney General of the Federation, is a video clip of brave IPOB men standing defiantly in front of an armored tank that killed 3 of their own in an unprovoked attack by the Nigerian Army at the home of their leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku.
Nigerians should wonder how the civilized world view them and their government officials today, including the judiciary, which have proven themselves to be the most corrupt and morally bankrupt nation on earth," Powerful said.
Powerful added that declaring IPOB a terrorist organisation is like saying that everyone from the south east region even before the British colonization are terrorists.
